Why join this lingerie photography workshop?
This workshop is for photographers wishing to improve their lingerie and fashion photography in a professional, supportive and creative environment.
Throughout the day, I will share my working methods for preparing a shoot, building studio lighting, communicating with the model and achieving natural, elegant poses.
You will learn how to:
- prepare and organise a studio lingerie photo shoot;
- set up and adjust studio flash lighting;
- choose suitable framing and settings;
- communicate with the model and give precise instructions;
- create elegant, consistent poses;
- collaborate with the model and beauty team;
- develop your powers of observation and photographic eye.
Shooting will be organised in two stages: a group session in the morning, followed by individual sessions in the afternoon. During each individual session, the other participants will remain off set to preserve a genuine working relationship between photographer and model.
